(CNN)Bob Saget, who was found dead in his Orlando, Florida hotel room last month, died from the result of a head trauma, according to a statement from his family.

"The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep," the statement said. "No drugs or alcohol were involved."

The family added that they have been "overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob's fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful."

"As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter," the statement added.

The "Fuller House" star, 65, had been on comedy tour at the time of his death.

Speculation had swirled around the state of his health as Saget had said he had Covid-19 in December.

2. When you are young you shake things off. As you age you often still think you are bullet proof.

But alas, you aren’t. It’s kind of a hard realization to make.

5. Epidural Hematomas get you quick. An artery gets ripped from the trauma and creates a

high pressure leak. A vein leak known as a subdural hematoma can be around for a while as it is low pressure. Actress Natasha Richardson wife of Liam Neeson died of the same thing from a skiing accident. With Epidurals you have to act quick.. If that's what he had.. Both conditions cause intra cranial pressure and the resultant pressure squeezes the brain stem and you stop breathing..

6. That is so sad.

Maybe something good can come of it, though. It's a reminder for the rest of us to watch our heads, and to take any bumps of them seriously. I can't tell you how many times I have bent over, and then whacked my head something after standing up.

7. Ohh.. that is so sad.. I hadn't

heard he had passed on.
